"Wo invite attention to the upeochea below, ( which took place in the U. S. Senate on the 10th ir.st Rend the speeches, while rben, mid then consider the position you are to ho brought to hv the KepubUcanrAbolition pur tv. The lenders of that party are determin ed that the negro shall bo considered your equal, in every respect, uo difference wbtit j yarn* own opinion may bo ou the subject. ■ They are now bold to muko this declaration, 1 and every Republican in the Senate voted I for the resolution offered by Sumner, and | must of them advocated it in a speech. ! It appears from the speeches delivered, •that one of Lincoln’s pompous negro,Majors insisted upon riding in the same street cur with white Indies and gentlemen. He was told-by the conductor that it was against the rules to admit him into the car occupied by white people,'’but that a car for colored folks was at hand, and ho could rido in it. This offended the sable “ Major,” who insisted on crowding himself in with the white passen gers ; because, to use bis own words, “ he j was the equal if any white man/’ &c. Fi uiudy the conductor ejected him from the I steps of the cur, nud drove on. The negro “Major” immediately reported the affair to his “superior officer,” who informed Sumner, and hence the resolution and debate in the ] Senate. Again we say, read the debate, white men, and )ct r all rail-road conductors hereafter remember, and let every body else remember, that a negro is the equal of the white man, (in the opinion of the U. S. Sen ate,) and cannot bo treated in any other way than as an equal. In the name of heaven, what aie we coming to ? Is faraticism to be tolerated much longer ? But to the speeches; EXCLUSION' OF COLORED PERSONS FROM CARS. ’j, 1804. outrage. Mr. WILKINSON* ( Abolitionist.) I paw in a New York newspaper the other day an account of a transaction similar to the one alluded to by the Senator from Massachu setts. I was in hopes them and indeed 1 thought, there was some mistake about it, because I did not know that any colored per sons were commissioned with the rank of Major by the President of the L’nited States ; and I was in hopes, for the honor of the country and for the honor of the capital, that there was some mistake in regard to it. Sir, 1 hope this reference will bo made ; and that the Committee on the District of Columbia will see to it that no corporation shall here after commit such an outrage. 1 Mr. HENDRICKS (Democrat.) 1 would ! have given a silent vote on this resolution, except for the explanations fhat have been made by the Senator who introduced it and the Senator from Minnesota. It .seems tube considered a great outrage that the negroes in the District of Columbia are not allowed tn take their seats in the same cars with the while men and women who travel on the railroads of this city, if I were to express any opinion on the subject, I should say the outrage would be the other way. Dut per haps it is duo to the company to say that I have observed the fact, as 1 suppose other ''Senators have observed it, that there are cars furnished dor the colored peopleAf the Dis trict, and those cars are plainly indicated, so that there can be no mistake. I do not understand from the Senator who has introduced this resolution that any negro has boon denied the right to ride in ibccars which, aT the expense of the company, have been provided for their accommodation : but the difficulty, I suppose, lias arisen because the negro declined to ride in the cars that arc provided fop persons of his color, and claimed the right to rule in the oars that are provided lor the white men and women who travel on these railroads. I will say to the Senator from lowa that very recently, with out observing it, I found myself crowding on the colored population in.one of their own cars, and as I did not choose to press upon their rights, I of course gave them the car-. lb was their right; it was provided for them, -and of course I did not question that right. So I am sure that provision has been made for their accommodation. Mr. GRIMES (Abolitionist.) X have found myself in some of the cars provided for col ored people, and I did press myself upon their attention and rode with them, and •[ did not consider myself disgraced by riding to the Senate Chamber in a car with colored people. ’lt was rather an honor, for they were all loyal. Mr. SI’MNER. $ know nothing about oars being provided for colored people. If they are provided they should not be recog nized by any colored lady or gentleman.— X was speaking of the late outrage. I use plain language, sir, for it is an outrage ; it is a disgrace to this city ; it is a disgrace to this Government which sanctions it Under its eves. It is a mere offshoot of the slavery which happily wo have banished from Wash ington. I go further and I say—l merely take him for illustration—that x tho ejection of that Senator from a car would not bring upon this capital half*lho shame that the ejection of this colored officer from the car necessarily brings upon the capital,*or any other Senator, fur I dn not moan of course to make the remark personal: but as the Sena tor from Indiana has entered into (his dis cussion and chooße* to vindicate this.inhu manity. T allude to him personally. Mr. WILSON, (Abolitionist.) Mr. Presi dent, this is not the only place that need? ro- §27 20 7 00 I 00 35 70 §B9 5-3 form. There arc other portions of the coun try that need reform'also where, perhaps, the matter imnot under our control. On our own cars that we are running op our own military roads these outrages are committed, ihn other dav a friend of mine came tin from the army, and with him 'two ouh-red men, and they wore forced into an inferior car, while lie (the white man) rude a-one in a height car over the road, forced there by the per sons exercising the control under the autho rity of the United States. The truth about it is, sir, that slavery has had its corrupting and malign influence upon the country. The country will yet, however, bo abolitiOulV.ed and civilized and humanized, but it must "bo nboiitionir.cd before the high civilization or tiie high humanity wdl come. It is all going well and right. I hope that some action will be taken in reference to this matter, and I hope the Federal Government will correct these outrages that are perpetra ted by persona employed by them, on sumo o'l our own military-reads. Mr. lIHX BRICKS. I desire to add a sin gle remark 10 what I have felt it my duty to say. And first I wish to ask the Senator from Massachusetts who has just taken his scat if ho has not heard of tons of thousands of cases, where white soldiers have boon com pelled to ride in cattle or burden cars. I know that nothing is more common in the pressure upon the railroads of the Northwest than for that very thing to occur. Mr, WILSON. In reply to the question of the Senator I will say that there is no doubt that it is true. In this ease these per sons wer q forced into the inferior car, and the gentleman told me ho rode nearly all the way alone, when there was room for a biro num ber of other persons in the car. 110 inquired about it of two officers, and the answer was that those ears were for “ the niggers I” Mr. II LX BRICKS. ‘During the very cold winter weather toward the commencement of this session, under the very eye of Sena tors, the veterans from the Potomac and the Uapidan came into this city in cars that were not at all fit for white people, in Vvhich they suffered extremely lor the want of lire ; and yet neither that Senator nor any other Sena tor felt that tlie cause of Immunity and right required them to call'the attention ul the Se nate to the circumstance. I am satisfied. sir. that the Senators have now declared the end to hi\;ii we are to conic, ami that by tlio action ol the Federal Government the social as well as the political equality of (he neyro is to bo forced upon the white race. If that be the judgment of the country we shall have to accept if. The peo ple that I represent fn this Chamber have not yet adopted that sentiment. Tlic distinc tion between the two races is yet maintained in Indiana. I low much longer it will be maintaihed I am not able to say. The Senator says that abolitionism is to do 1 its work, and one of its works as I under- 1 stand from him is to bring about SOCIAL j LOCALITY. 1 presume he means also po- > litical equality. I think Unit wo will not i consent to that very readily in the Stale o( Indiana. Indiana has not been for a great number of years in fact or in law a slave State. At one time there were a few slaves in that State, but it has been substantially a free State since 1810, the time of its admis sion, and yet, sir, accustomed as wc arc to white labor there, and to none other, wc arc not content that equality, social and political, of tho black race shall be forced upon us ; and I am glad now that in plain terms the two distinguished Senators from Massachu setts and the Senator from Minnesota have told thd country that this is the end wo are to come to, that this war is not only for the freedom of the negro, but lor the equality of i the negro socially as well as politically, and the country can now appreciate the issue that is before it. ' Mr. WILSON. A single word. Mr. Presi dent. "What I mean to say about this matter is this ; I do not want to force on the Sena 1 or 'from Indiana any class of men with whom he docs not choose to associate, but I think the true' policy is to let men stand equally before the law, to let men win their own po sitions. I>‘L them have the privilege of mak ing out of themselves ail that God and nature intended they should be, viz —equals of othfr men in every respect. The question was then taken on Mr. Sru \Eli's resolution, and it was adopted —y*a* d;0, (all Abolitionists,) nays 10, (all Ih-tno , 'cratsand Conservatives.) Four Republican * I Senators dodged.

He added : “For instance, an article costing twelve dollars had been furnished at one hundred and fifty dollars. That I have seen in offi cial statements. MrfWilson—Did the Government take if at that price? Mr. Hale—The Government took it; dim market price being twelve dollars, the con tract .price one hundred and fifty dollars.— - I will mention another article that I have seen in the same list: Gotten waste, the market price.of which was twenty-nine cents, proposals at eighty cents.

One time we tricd'to ho sarcastic as we could, and called him Iloucst Old Abe.” il Pint for Teace, Every ono knows that tho Springfield (Mass.) Republic.m is ono of the ablest and most influential supporters of .the Adminis tration in.-New England. As a Significant symptim of returning reason on the part of some of the Republicans, the following arti ole is, we conceive, nf sufficient, importance to justify its publication in full. If our rea ders will make it a point of showing it to i their friends wboare, from mistaken but pa motlvcs, sustaining tho Administra may do much good. Says tho Repub- triotie tion, it lie (in Since winter suspends operations, why can nut this time be employed to makepeace I Vir tually it is an arm'stic; though not having been so declared, tho’T.ovcrnment and the peop'C make no uMti ot it. On our side wo should at once eoinmcnco the discussion of reconstruction; and on the rebel side the pent np feeling against the Richmond dynasty, that has been growingstronger in consequence of their defeats in 1803, would find vent, and they too, would talk about tlmir future con dition. Beconatruetionists I ke those of North Carolina and Georgia would speak, and a ful ler announcement ol loyal sentiments would he. made in three months than wo have had in three years of war. It would bo the death lebeldnm, and it would produce a revolution in public sentiment here. When Charles if. returned to England to tie received with glad ness, he said he would have come hack years before, had he understood the sentiment of the nation. As long ns men stand with arms in their hands, or in hostile attitude, they fear ami hate each other; hut when they speak and look into each other’s eyes, if rea son is not overcame by madness they may ho friends. All, that ia'noeded for the restora- tion of the Union—since the people on both sides are tired ol war—is that the parties should speak to each other. There would have been no rebellion if we had known each oilier belter—and the war emil I not continue, if now we could c*me to that knowledge. , The South acted on its fear*, which wore groundless. If they could have seen the facta as they were, that throe in four at least of all the people designed them no harm, but would have shod th<*ir hlood to defend the rights of Smith Carolina, Georgia and Mis sissippi, as quick w* of Massachusetts, New York and M o ngan, they w-mld never have lifted an arm in rebellion. They were delu- ded and cheated. Th.y conjured up a phan tasm—a. devil, and give thorn-elves to its di rection-; and like Smbiui carrying the Old Man ol the Sea, they will bo slaves to that deception till they rid themselves of the bur den and lift themselves to the light. Jfwe have not heon as much deceived, it is ; very evident that tivint/ uf our people are la \ bonny tinder ,crronrou.'t imprrxsionx. Hence | comes the universal denunciation; ihe as- sumption that every man in tho South is fin enemy to the North ; tho affirmation of tho Wendell Phillipses that there is no loyal man in the South who has not a black skin ; and the res dutions and propositions of the half-in sane radicals. in Congress that the war should be for conquest, subversion of all former in stitutions. the subjugation of the white race, the raising to an equality with ourselves the African population, the abolition of the States, and the forcing upon arnillion square miles of territory ami six millions of people the ideas, opinions and modes of life that be long to New England, and which can he done . in;it as easy, and no more so, as England can 'implant her civilization and. religion on Ire land. Wt* give itasour opinio.i lliat we lal.o • under adeiusnm ; and it ‘the people of the South can over speak wo shall find that we have been fighting against a majority in ma ny of those States who have been overcome 'and hold In subjection and led to the battle field Ijv tho armed traitors. While they de sired nothing more than the perpetuation of the L ilion and the Co-.rnttutioa their lathers gave them. As long as this is an actual cmi liu-l of arms we inu-t war op m all engaged in st.

'lint over the rebels gain 1 ed hv the uprising of the Smthercn people' | would he of much moe value in restoring i ihe Union than v ’mil? in the field; and ! they would obviate the necessity of more I bloodshed. To this wc hope to see it come j ;i t last—a party in rebellion against the re- I hellion ; and that wo ‘•hall sen. whenever the I people there dare'to d'seuss the question. The reason why there can he no suspen sion of arms and no consideration with tho people of measures linking to re-union and peace, is simply thm— (hal the Radicals in'll not permit il. Jeff I)a\ls and his friends are contending for indcpLMidencG ; they will not admit the idea of rr-union. They would rather lose ten battles than have one Slate like North Carolina hold a convention to consider that subject; fov "every word spo ■ ken would bn none disastrous to them than j a bullet from a loyal rilie. They have staked ill, and will die rather than submit. So on j ur side we have a' parly that are fighting I for emancipation. It is all tnoy care about. "They hare no desire tome a restoration of the Gvccrmnriif more Ilian Jeff Davis has. They do not hesitate la declare everywhere and in the most open manner the/, they prefer dis union to the oi l Union, with the Constitution as it now is. And this they term loyalty, and denounce restorationista as traitors. — Strange enough they make a large part of the people behove that it is treason; and there are Tory few public men in the country .who dare to discuss—farthor'ihan tho parlies 1 will \ 0.-init them, the question of restoring the Union as it was established by the fathers of 1 1770 ami understood by JUd'cison, Madison, • Andrew Jackson, -and John Quincy Adams. While, therefore, the Jclf Davis party rules the finuth/thero can lie no peace, no approach lo peace, as there can be no cessation of war. and while the Garrison and Phillips men con trol tho ] opular current of the North, tho-o can he nothing but such measures as will be resisted at the South ho long as a man can bo had ; and. in-the end, if Hoy rule in .that end, the}* will not restore the Union, but give us a--conquered country to bo hold as Russia holds Poland, and Austria holds Hungary.

Ilfs readiness to compromise, when the sections were solidly opposed to each other, and the solemnity with which ho impressed constitutional obligations, seem to have been prompted by fear of such a contest as is now convulsing the nation. In his oration deliv ered Jurio 17th, 1813, upon the completion of the Buaiser Hill monument, ho said : “A military Republic, a governmentfound od on mock elections, and supported only by the sword, is a movement, indeed, hot a ret rograde and disastrohs movement, from the regular and old fashioned monarchichal sys tem. If men would enjoy the blessings of .re publican government they must govern them selves by reason, by. mutual connscl and con sultation, by a sense and feeling of general interest, and by the acquiescence of the mi nority in the will of the majority, properly expressed ; and above all the military must be kept, according to the language of our bill of rights, in strict subordination- to the civil authority. Wherever this lesson is not both learned and practiced there can bb no political freedom. Absurd, preposterous is-it, a scoff, a satire on free forms of constitutional liberty, for forms of government to ho pre scribed by military leaders,-and the right ol suffrage to bo exercised at the point °f the sword.” , If he was alive to-day his successor in the Senate of the United States would request an order for his banishment or imprisonment, and the President would, grant the request Such an intellectual giant as ho, advocating Such general principles of duty and policy as bo over sustained, would frighten the ad ministration ns an earthquake alarms the in habitants beneath whom it rolls. , TheV “Want no Investigation!—Jinn. Fernando Wood offered a resolution in Con gress for the appointment of a committee to investigate the enormous frauds perpetrated by Government officials. • Thud. Stevens, one of the vilest, meanest, wretches on this side of hades, and leader of the Abolitionists in Congress, moved to table it, and it was agreed to. the whole block posse voting for it.— When the Democratic party was in powdr, whenever the charge of fraud was made against any one* in the employ of the Govern ment, u committee was at once appointed at the instance of the Democrats, to ferret out the fraud and bring the offender to justice.

FIFTY-OXE DAYS MAKING A TUNNEL, Pursuit by the Rebel Cavalry, Baltimore, Feb; 10.—The escaped Union tfiicors reached here this morning, and leave for Washington this afternoon. .The account oftheir escape is full of thril- ling interest, but, for prudential reasons, many of the particulars are withheld from publication at present. They were fifty-one days engaged in making a tunjiel. Having managed to find access to the cellar of their prison, they commenced to work, relieving one another as opportunity afforded. Their instruments were enso knives, pocket knives, cLiseltr, and files. Twice they had to-ahan dou their work arid commence anew, on ac count *of obstructions which they could not pass. They had hoped to ‘have avdiletbtfiiom selvea Of a culvcit, but found it impractica ble. After getting through the wall, they disposed of the excavated soil by drawing it out in a spittoon, which they attached to a cord. This would be filled by the party at work in the tunnel, and pulled out into the collar by their companions, who disposed of it by spreading it in shallow layers over the floor, concealing it beneath the straw. The work was neoessarialy very slow. So close, was the atmosphere in the tunnel, that they could remain in it but a few moments at a time, and their candles would go out. At one time, they got so near the bed-of the street that a small hole, about the size of a stove pipe, broke through ; but, fortunate ly, this was not observed by the guard, and was a,great service, admitting air and ena bling them to prosecute their work more rap* idly. The tunnel vvhon comnloted, was about fifty feet long, and opened into an old tobac co shed beyond the line of guards. As soon as they found the way clour, they emerged slowly in small squads of two and three, and sauniercred off until-they got clear of the guards, making their way towards the Wil iaraaburg road by the shortest route. In order to their pursuers, whom they know‘would seon’bo on their track they scattered as much as possible. Many wore their lulrdihips and sufferings, and fieqocnt their narrow escapes from the rebel cavalry, who next morning were bush-wncking in every direction for them. The joy which they experienced when theyUrs.tcaughtjdght of our troops, sent out to help and protect ; them from their pursuers, cannot bo ex pressed. THfcWAH'NEWS. latest from ’the southwest. The Re I jcl General Roddy’s Command Driven Back. * Reported Defeat of Polk by General Skeuian. 12,000 Prisoners Reported Taken. Huntsville, Ain., Feb. 20.—Olfieial infor mation was received nt Gen. Logan’s head quarters to-day, that the Robots, supposed to be Roddy’s command, attempted to cross the Tennessee river at throe different ferries, but were driven back by Dodgo’e troops, ihc loss of the Union troopa was very slight. . It is rumored hero that Gen. Shcrm,an baa had a fight with the rebel General Pulk near Brandon and whipped him, taking 12,000 prisoners. [After the above had been put in typo, wo received a daily paper from Washington, da ted the 23d February, which pronounces all contained in the above despatch a canard; in qthor words, a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. The telegraph is in the hands of the tools of the Administration, and for speculating objects is used to deceive and blind the people. Nothing from Adminis tration sources can bo credited.] From General Grant’s Army. THE REBELS HAVE BROKEN lIP WINTER' ([HARTERS. They are' Active —Skirmishes —Mor- gan and his 10,000, &c. Cincinnati, Feb. 22.—A despatch from Knoxville, Tennessee,' to the Commercial , savs that the rebels have broken up thosr winter quarters at Morristown, and are in force in Strawberry Plains. They have completed the pontoon bridge at the Plains, and two brigades of infantry are across. A budv of cavalry also crossed and bad n skirmish on Saturday with our cavalry, six miles from here, aud ( were driven back to tin* Gen. ihiskcll encountered the enemy two miles out yesterday, on the south sale of the river, killed six or seven of them, arid cap- tured some. It is reported that the rebels have been re inforced by Buckner, with a heavy force of artillery. A despatch from Chattanooga to the G«- zcilc , dated the 21st inst., gives a rumor that two divisions of the enemy occupied Marys ville yesterday, but afterwards retired. It is said that the rebels have appeared on the Tennessee line, below Loudon, blockad ing the steamer Chattanooga. . Another rumor declares that John Morgtyi crossed the Tennessee, between Florence and Tuscambia, with 10,000 men, with the inten tion of making a raid on Middletown, Tennes see. T i o Court House, at Mobile, valued at two hundred thousand dollars, was recently de stroyed bv lire. ■ 5 . All is quiet in front. The situation of the rebel army is unknown. The weather is growing mild and pleasant. iTOLITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI. GEN. SIIEIIM AN’S EXPEDITION, ackson Taknn-—Tho Columns Mov ing, &c., *Xc Caiiio, Feb. *2O. —An nflicer who has jcM j arrived here from the Big Black river, re- * ports that before reaching Jackson a skir- | misb ensued between a part of General Sher man's forces and a b-idy of from 4,000 to 5, 000 rebels, in which the enemy were defeat ed and 40 of them captured. Our arm} bad passed through Jackson. Miss., and two columns of the enemy were retreating across the Pearl river, ko precipi tately that Ins pmintoons, together with two pieces of artillery and a nnmherof prisoners, fell into our hands. Our forces seiacd pro visions of all kinds and swept on. Givtit dissatisfaction is stUd to exist among the Kentucky, Tennesson and Mississippi regiments, and a large number of deserters are coming into our lines. General Sherman reached Meridian ton days after leaving Vicksburg. A portion of. General Tuttle's command which got behind and was cut off from the expedition, had returned to \ icksburg.— Gen. M‘Arth«r was in command qf the dis trict of Vicksburg. Gen. M’Pborson having accompanied General Sherman with most of his corps. . Refuges from Mobile report that the in habitants of that city feel secure from any attack. 15,000 rebel troPpi arc reported to be in or about that neighborhood. A sentiment in favbriof a rcconbtruc.tinn of the Union prevailed toji considerable ex tent, and it would be expressed as soon as the protection of the United. States government was offered. Nothing was known of the re volt at Fort Morgan. The report that Gen. Smith’s com mu ml of cavalry ami mounted infantry, on an expedi tion into Mississippi, had a fight with For rest’s cavalry near Grenada is not confirmed. It is not believed that the guerrillas will keep up a musketry fire upon the steamers that sail below Memphis. General' Buckner’s command is gaining much favor in Memphis by the judicious ad ministration of affairs. Ice is forming heavi ly on the Mississippi at Cairo, and for fifty miles below. . The steamer White Cloud arrived here this morning from Duvall’s Bluff. She brought 423 bales of cotton, consigned to Memphis. The steamer Bryan, winch was burned at •‘Columbus, Kentucky, yesterday, was owned by the government. Her cargo was not val uable. Marrkb.
